Publishing Resources (Creation, Access, and Deletion)
When selecting names for your data services and resources, consider that special characters can make it difficult or impossible for clients (including Business Directory or Deployment Manager) to display or consume the published resources. For example, Business Directory cannot see the data for a data source with the name “dsInv/publish”.
You can do the following for published resources:
• Access its underlying source as it exists in Studio.
• View the resource content if it is a table or view.
